Great news: Tiny Dancer has uploaded the elusive "face morph" cartoon! I can see how it freaked out quite a few people; this was obviously made before loud synthesizer sounds like those became common in the household with early video game consoles. (I immediately thought "Nintendo" when I...

Uh, I thought the Pokemon Center became "Nintendo World" in 2006, selling both Mario and Pokemon merchandise and other stuff as well. It was like that when I last went there in December 2006.

No there wasn't, from what I saw. Besides, the NBC coverage doesn't seem to care about the balloons much anymore. When announcing the parade lineup at the start, they completely ignored the balloons as if they weren't there! I guess it's a tradition that is going to die soon...

That was Rosita! It's been a while since she had a solo in the parade, I think. And Count, yes I have an internal mental clock when it comes to this parade, too. And of course, ol' Oscar didn't want to sing with them.

That was unusual: when they started the parade, they did NOT play the signature theme to "New York, New York" like they have for previous years. Instead they got a new theme song. What was up with that? Just mainly tuning into it now to see the Sesame float. When they announced it, it said on...

This is based off an annoying commercial I have to see every day I work at Walmart, and there was a part that reminded me of a certain Sesame Street Muppet, I thought I'd let her take a stab at it! ... (The setting's in front of the 123 Sesame Street apartment. Abby Cadabby stands next to a...

It is pretty sad. No more Zoe or Prairie Dawn... I also remember Fran Brill narrating this as well (she also voiced Maria, renamed as "Dolores")...

Interesting they changed the format again a bit, but it's kind of about time. I wonder how long they will also continue to use the 2009 intro? I'll probably give it maybe two more years before they replace it again...

How nice! I hope you don't mind if I then take the News Flash segment about the Five Little Pigs and upload it onto my YouTube channel as a separate video, so that can be back on YouTube again!

I seem to recall hearing somewhere that would often be cut because they were worried kids would imitate Bert's head-banging. But then along came Don Music...

The Humpty Dumpty news segment now has the original black-and-white "NEWS FLASH" logo at the start; initially it had the 1986 logo tacked onto the beginning (and you could briefly see part of the old logo when fading into the segment), this version is still used on the official Sesame Street...

Yeah, it's sad about the loss of Mr. Haney's voice actor. His voice was noticeably old-sounding in Season 16's "Get Smart." Miss Turner (the librarian)'s voice actress is also sounding pretty old nowadays, too. However, compare Season 17 with Season 16. The animation is slightly improved: the...

As for "M is for Mystery," Sesame Workshop seems really hesitant to release "Mysterious Theater" onto home video (maybe they think it will scare kids?) A mystery-themed DVD like this would be a PERFECT way to release one of them to home video (hopefully the "Missing Cat" one.) Or if not, maybe...

Yeah, I remember finding Bushman Bill kinda weird as a kid, but the song sure is fun. I wonder who voiced the three female singers? (I doubt they were even Muppet performers; it's likely they could've simply gotten a female vocal group to sing the song, and had the puppets lip-sync to the...

Ah, but remember what I made Gordon say: "And Big Bird, Boomerang shows them, even though we don't get that channel here on Sesame Street. Not a lot of people do!" Plus, this was meant to be a spoof, even though I am sure they'll come back when "Wabbit" gets nearer and nearer. In the original...

Yep, I noticed that too. I remember characters often dashing off in the same exaggerated manner as the characters in "The Busy World of Richard Scarry" in some early episodes. Kind of unusual for a show that's meant to resemble real life (but with anthropomorphic animals in Marc Brown's style.)...

Well, it's official. "Arthur" is now the second longest-running North American animated series, with seventeen seasons and counting (second behind "The Simpsons," of course.) I am actually very impressed by that... (BTW, third is "South Park," and then "King of the Hill," but that will soon be...

As of this week, Cartoon Network no longer airs any classic Looney Tunes shorts. (They even took off classic "Tom and Jerry!") It may just be for the summer, but you never know. And then this reminded me, on the old Golden Age Cartoons forum I was a member of, in 2004 a member wrote up a spoof...

Not to mention the train the Muppets ride on for their world tour, with an old-fashioned steam locomotive and old-style Pullman cars! But then again, we did see it alongside a modern Amtrak Superliner train at the Los Angeles Union Station, and one of those ICE trains (I think) in Germany...

Saw it today with my brother. It was lots of fun, but not as good as the first film. I liked how Sam the Eagle had a prominent role, along with appearances by Link Hogthrob, Mildred, Pops, Uncle Deadly and others! I also enjoyed the sequel song at the start, the Muppets' old run-down steam train...
